aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:C.He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

Explanation:

The statement of the question clearly states that chloroform is sensitive to light and it's vapour is toxic.

If a substance is sensitive to light, then it must be stored in a dark bottle. This is because. If a substance that is sensitive to light is stored in a transparent container, it may be decomposed by light.

Being a substance whose fumes are toxic, Malik should pour the liquid in a fumes hood so that he does not inhale the fumes.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following? 1. Beryllium chloride 2. Nitrogen dioxide 3. Carbon tetr

Lina20 [59]

Answer :

(1) The hybridization of central atom beryllium in $BeCl_2$ is, $sp$

(2) The hybridization of central atom nitrogen in $NO_2$ is, $sp^2$

(3) The hybridization of central atom carbon in $CCl_4$ is, $sp^3$

(4) The hybridization of central atom xenon in $XeF_4$ is, $sp^3d^2$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the following molecules.

(1) The given molecule is, $BeCl_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [2+2]=2$

The number of electron pair are 2 that means the hybridization will be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

(2) The given molecule is, $NO_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4]=2$

If the sum of the number of sigma bonds, lone pair of electrons and odd electrons present is equal to three then the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

In nitrogen dioxide, there are two sigma bonds and one lone electron pair. So, the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

(3) The given molecule is, $CCl_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

(4) The given molecule is, $XeF_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [8+4]=6$

Bond pair electrons = 4

Lone pair electrons = 6 - 4 = 2

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

But as there are four atoms around the central xenon atom, the fifth and sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square planar.

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o. what is the molecular formula for t

Gnesinka [82]

Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

A 1000.0 ml sample of lake water in titrated using 0.100 ml of a 0.100 M base solution. What is the molarity (M) of the acid in

Fittoniya [83]

The molarity (M) of the acid in the lake water is $0.00001M$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to estimate the concentration of a solution in molarity, then the total number of moles of the solute is divided by the total volume of the solution.

According to the given information, the formula will be applied for calculating molarity (M) of the acid in the lake water is :

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

Here;

$M_1,M_2$ are molarity of acid in the lake water and base solution respectively. $V_1,V_2$ are volume of sample in the lake water and base solution respectively.

Given values are as follows:

$M_1=?\\M_2=0.100M\\V_1=1000ml\\V_2=0.100ml$

Putting these values in above equation :

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$M_1(1000)=(0.100)(0.100)$

$M_1=\frac{(0.100)(0.100)}{1000}$

$M_1=0.00001M$

Therefore, the molarity (M) of the acid in the lake water is $0.00001M$ .
